DIVIDEND:

During the preceding 3 years the company witnessed growth and a solid customer base with regular orders. The prolonged dip in the global economy, coupled with high prices of raw materials have been

detrimental to the growth prospects of the company in the completed financial year. Uncertain events in some countries along with a highly volatile currency has prompted the company to adopt a conservative approach in the short term. With a view to conserving the resources of your company, your Directors have decided not to recommend Dividend for the year.

OPERATIONS:

Your Company has recorded a turnover of ^ 3936.49 lacs during the year under review as opposed to ^ 5073.37 lacs in the previous year. After the first quarter of the financial year the economy saw a very volatile currency and slowdown in orders due to the high prices of raw materials. This in turn affected the production and prices of finished goods. The company was quick to recognize the slowdown and reduced the supplies of finished goods in line with the market trends, resulting in a dip in turnover, but a healthier performance. The company took an aggressive step in reducing debt thereby improving the overall performance.

Pursuant to Section 205A read with Section 205C of the Companies Act, 1956, unclaimed dividend which remains unpaid for a period of seven years shall be transferred to Investor Education & Protection Fund.

DIVIDEND:

Considering the Company''s performance, your Directors have recommended for approval of the shareholders a dividend ofRs. 1/-per Equity Share. (Previous Year Rs. 1/-per Equity Share). The total cash outgo on account of dividend for the year 2012-13 works out to Rs. 61.95 Lakhs including the Dividend Distribution Tax. The dividend subject to its declaration will be distributed to the shareholders, whose names appear on the Register of Members as on 30th September, 2013.

OPERATIONS:

Your company has recorded a turnover of X 50.73 cores during the year under review. The beginning of the financial year saw strong demand for Polished Diamonds in the local and international markets. The local market performed much better than previous years with substantial growth being recorded as opposed to exports.

The weakening currency played a major factor in determining the course of business activities through the financial year. The cost of Imports of Rough Diamonds rose substantially, as a result of which the raw material became more expensive. The effect of the currency translated into the local market seeing robust trading activity and therefore being able to procure Polished Diamonds at cheaper prices in dollar terms. This caused the company to reduce its manufacturing activity marginally and opt for local purchases towards the end of the financial year. The availability of Polished Diamonds at cheaper prices in the local market also translated in more profits being made on exports to our regular clients.

Order books being firm and growing over the years, our clients seemed to have retained faith in our abilities, and commitments to carry forward the ties have been displayed across various sizes and qualities of Polished Diamonds. The company continues to strive to move towards an in-house manufacturing base, however the current market conditions are such where the board feels that the outsourcing model still outweighs the fixed cost regime. In order to conserve resources through the difficult times ahead the board has decided to postpone the plan of setting up a manufacturing facility and try and remain as liquid as possible.

UNCLAIMED / UNPAID DIVIDEND (TRANSFER TO INVESTOR EDUCATION & PROTECTION FUNDI

Pursuant to Section 205A read with Section 205C of the Companies Act, 1956, unclaimed dividend which remains unpaid for a period of seven years shall be transferred to Investor Education & Protection Fund.
